I also wrote for them a <a href="https://www.apc.org/sites/default/files/APCInternetIntermediaryLiability_BestPracticesAfrica_20131125.pdf" target="_blank">report on best practices for intermediary liability in 2013</a>. Following from that, I have been recently contacted to write a chapter for an upcoming Oxford handbook on intermediary liability, which looks back into developments on the subject over the last few years in Africa (2012-2018). I want this to be as complete and accurate as possible, but the material I have been able to find online regarding new laws and court decisions is rather limited. I would therefore be very grateful to any of you who took the time to share, <u>in or off-list</u>, <b>notable developments in your country relating to liability of intermediaries</b> (in a broad sense: digital platforms, but also ISPs and other types of intermediaries, e.g. registrars and domain name operators, or payment companies). I would also be curious to hear of <b>any regulation or policy coordination relating to intermediaries in the context of the African Union</b>, which at the time I wrote the 2013 paper appeared to be a suitable forum to develop some common principles in this field. Has anything happened on that front?</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you really very much in advance for anything you're able to contribute.
